KUWAIT Tim Anderson Jersey , Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- Kuwait's Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah will visit the U.S. next month to "open a new chapter" of their strategic ties, U.S. Ambassador to Kuwait Lawrence Silverman said Wednesday.

"The visit reflects the very strong, close and strategic partnership between the United States and Kuwait, which is longstanding, but also we are in the process of enhancing that relationship, making it even closer," the U.S. envoy told the Kuwaiti official news agency KUNA in an interview.

This will be the Kuwaiti leader's fourth visit to the U.S. since he took office in 2006. He previously visited Washington in 2006 Ron Santo Jersey , 2009 and 2013, and also participated in a summit between the U.S. and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) at the Camp David in May 2015.

The upcoming U.S. visit, scheduled on Sept. 6, was planned amid Kuwait's efforts to mediate the ongoing standoff between Qatar and the Arab quartet led by Saudi Arabia.

Kuwait has been playing the role of mediator in the standoff which started early June when the quartet, which also includes the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain and Egypt, cut diplomatic ties with Qatar Robin Ventura Jersey , citing Doha's support of terrorism and interference in their internal affairs.

Washington was throwing its weight behind Kuwait's mediation in the "intra-GCC" political dispute, Silverman said. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain as well as Qatar are all GCC members.

The U.S. supports Kuwait's mediation because it wants to see an end to this dispute as quickly as possible "for the sake of the region," Silverman noted.

He also praised Kuwait for its plan to host an international conference of donors next year on Iraq's reconstruction of areas liberated from terror group Islamic State.

During the emir's visit, the two countries will hold the second session of the Kuwait-U.S. Strategic Dialogue, which will draw a map for strengthening the Kuwait-U.S. ties in the next 25 years.

"It is really one of the foundation blocks of our relation Paul Konerko Jersey , as part of the dialogue would be discussing possibilities in even furthering this cooperation. So, it is the whole gambit of relations," Silverman said.

That insistent might need for planning and arranging is even now with me a great number of several years afterwards. Even so, no for a longer time am I carrying bits of candy and leftover snacks in an oversized back again pack. It is considerably more like a huge hand bag and I have replaced the candy for healthier snacks as well. I pack sanitizer, bottled water, pieces of fruit, and have even been recognised to pack a sandwich on event. Currently, diapers Melky Cabrera Jersey , wipes and other modifying materials can also be uncovered in my bag too. (It is about time seeing as my little princess is almost two). Oh how I hated going out with two bags.

A trusty handheld camera is also in tow. I like the resolution of the images as opposed to using my intelligent mobile phone, in which the resolution can invariably be questionable and lightening is "hit or miss". You just by no means know when a memory will be put together.

As a mother, it is crucial to be prepared. By always keeping your bag stocked you are ready for most matters that may very well occur your way. In somewhere between meals, a delay on the way dwelling, and how lots of moments do little fingers will need wiping and sanitizing?

In addition, you will be more desirable outfitted to experience the temptations of the generate-thru if you are well ready. I am not stating pack all sorts of things, but I am declaring to at minimum pack certain elements.

And what about packing your purse for extensive flights and road journeys? Summer months might possibly be above but always keep this in thoughts Luke Appling Jersey , you are fortunate on most airline journeys if you get anything at all way more than a beverage and some nuts or pretzels as a snack. Your odds are improved if you journey internationally. But, if the airline is already delivering meals, you will probably not get a snack.

So do on your own and your little an individual(s) a favor and retain matters like snack bars, added wipes sanitizer and other essentials in your bag always. My preferred "go to mother snack" are almonds. A couple almonds placed in an air-totally free sandwich bag will shop very well in your bag. They are enjoyable, light excess weight and they you should not want .
